Tthe Court of Appeal said the case will be live streamed because:

"Certain proceedings of the Court of Appeal’s Civil Division are now live-streamed to increase open justice and improve public access and understanding of the justice system. This means that high profile and legally significant cases in the court would be made available in the way that UK Supreme Court hearings habitually are."

The link for viewing the case is https://www.judiciary.uk/the-court-of-appeal-civil-division-live-streaming-of-court-hearings/.

I have a feeling it was today, but cant work out from the web site which case it is. Did anyone follow it?

The mother in this case has said:

The ruling of the Court will be significant for all young people and their families where gender treatment is sought from the private sector.

Insane that a Mother has to go to court to prevent something so obviously harmful happening to her child.

I think this must be the tribunal tweets thread

Tribunal tweets live tweeted it. The recent bans were mentioned but only to say they weren't directly relevant because this is about cross sex hormones, not puberty blockers. Cass review was talked about alot because it came out just before the judgement which is being appealed, so the claimant is saying that should have changed things (I think!). I don't know who will win - but it was obvious from the questions that the judges were really well informed. This issue has been coming infront of the courts for years now and these judges sounded well versed in it.

Many thanks for that. I didn't know about tribunal tweets covering it.

Unfortunately an earlier thread about this got deleted because it included a fund raising link (why cant they just delete the link) so it had slipped my mind it was today.

Good to hear about the Judge.

And also good to hear that individual women are feeling strong enough to take a stand and bringing the issues to the forefront, including in legal proceedings.

I think it might be Re. Q

Thanks will try and listen tonight.

But wonder at whether the Judgement would be influenced by recent Government bans.
